OUSTED Celebrity Big Brother contestant Grant Bovey has suggested that fellow housemate Stephen Bear left the female members of the Elstree compound “frightened”.

The 55-year-old ex-husband of television presenter Anthea Turner said that his behaviour in the house has left the women feeling intimidated.

Grant, who became the first famous face to be evicted last night, also said that the 25-year-old Ex On The Beach star was his lest favourite resident on the show.

“I have got to be honest – he was a very intimating man to be around and I’m a bloke and I have been around the block,” he explained in an interview, following his departure from the reality TV series.

“You never really knew with him what he was going to do next and some of the girls – I’m not sure this was shown on the television – were definitely a bit frightened by Bear because they were a bit worried what he could do,” Grant told the Sun.

Grant spilt the beans on his week in the Borehamwood bungalow, telling host Emma Willis: "I'm glad to be back in the realms of normality, that house is beyond bizarre. I don't have the vocabulary to explain what it's like in there.

“I have just been myself. It's like being in there with 14 performers. Bear is constantly [performing],” he added.

Despite being back in the real world, he did say he enjoyed spending time with ejected housemate Christopher Biggins and controversial radio presenter James Whale.
